Never used one myself, But NAS is the way to go.

I have a Synology DS110j ($120 USD) with a 2TB WD Green HD ($60 USD) and it works amazingly well. Plus the Synology can act as a MySQL server =)

I'd go for something more versatile, like the DS110j mentioned by Ozymandyaz. Not only do you get more performance, you also have the ability to swap the hard drive if it fail or if you need more space. Which can't be done with the product you linked. I think (needs verification) that the DS110j can accommodate up to 3TB HDD.
